Ing to the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) section 5241 and the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), the maximum amount that can be withheld for child support is between 50% - 65% of your disposable earnings, depending on your situation.
The maximum that can be withheld for support may range from 50–65% of an employee or independent contractor's disposable income. The CCPA limitation percentage depends on up to three factors: (1) the date of the IWO ; (2) the arrears duration (if any); and (3) for older IWOs, the employee's other dependents.
Because child support is so important, the law sets a very high limit on the amount that can be withheld from your paycheck for this purpose. If you are not currently supporting another child or spouse who are not the subject of the order, up to 60% of your wages can be garnished.
Effective March 1, 2024, for the next two years, the income cap for child support calculations is $183,000 (up from $163,000) and the income cap for maintenance is $228,000 (up from $203,000). Child support is calculated using the formula in the Child Support Standards Act DRL §240, FCA §413.
An obligor can file an Agreed Motion to Terminate Withholding for Child Support with the district clerk to have a judge review the case and issue an order to terminate income withholding. To do this go to the "Texas Law Help" website, to download the Motion and Order forms.
How can the court require child support that would reduce your paycheck to nothing? Most states won't do that, however, if you have multiple child support cases you might find your check much less substantial. In our state, they cannot withhold more than 50% of your income.
If your circumstances change substantially or you lose your job, it is important to seek modification as soon as possible. The court cannot retroactively change the terms of child support, and any modification would only be effective as of the filing date of the modification application.
